MES for Tire manufacturing | eBMR (electronic Batch Manufacturing Record) for Tire manufacturing
Tire manufacturers all-over-the-world are under continuous pressure to produce the High quality tires with stringent specifications for the customers increasing demand. Tire manufacturers constantly seek a competitive edge by delivering the latest high-tech products to technology-hungry consumers. Making sure that tire manufacturers accomplish higher Productivity and ensure that the stringent quality specifications are followed for the raw materials selection and process specifications are followed for the mixing operations is not an easy task. Every step of the process right from the raw material receiving, mixing, green tire building, tire curing and final inspection and shipping is key to ensure that the tires are produced at high quality with relevant compliance regulations as per the country e.g. federal motor vehicle safety standards FMVSS– NHSTA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) for USA. Compliance is crucial to avoid another Firestone recall incident for any manufacturer.
Tire manufacturers are continuously facing the challenges:
- To provide the highly durable tires
- To keep the cost of the tire under control
- Deliver the fuel-efficient tires with the right substitution for raw material without yielding for the component separation.
- Reducing the carbon foot-print and/ensure that environmental measures are met
It is critical for every tire manufacturer to ensure the following:
- Right recipe is followed
- Right Quality sampling and inspection tests are followed for the Raw materials and components
- Process parameters are strictly executed at different operations
- 1. Mixing
- 2. Green tire building
- 3. Tire curing
- Final inspection results are captured
- Record the deviations at every step and ensure that the deviations are addressed prior to shipping
- Develop the analytics for continuous product improvement.
